Well, I guess we should demand that the NAACP renounce black racists in the Government and apologize for her behavior at one of their meetings.
Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation Gary Hubbell
Aspen Times Weekly February 2010
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future. He is the best thing ever.
Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America .
Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.
We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.
But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.
A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.
Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years - the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

I can't believe the Administration is actually considering selling some high tech weaponry to, get this, friendly fucking Muslim nations - Saudi Arabia for one to balance the Iranian threat - NUCKING FUTS ! I can't fathom the hangover that came up with that one - Fucking Treason ! 99% of all homicide bombers, jihadists, insurgents and Al Qeada are freakin Saudis! This whole stupid ass bunch of Muslim terrorists going back 35 years to present were spoon fed and nurtured since infants on Saudi Wahbiism - somebody stop me!
Bush/and company YOU'RE STARTING TO PISS ME OFF! And God dammit, release Border Guards Ramos and Campeon Jesus Christ man ,get it together!
The Demokrat controlled congress has persuaded the Supreme Court justices to renege on their previous decision to disallow imprisoned terrorists at Guantanamo, MUSLIM TERRORIST PRISON, to appeal their legally justified, and very important to the safety of mankind worldwideimprisonment. Consequently the Justices caved and will hear the Neanderthals appeals for freedom in October.
Certain Demokrats are pleading for the closure of Gitmo such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, a Wisconsin Demokrat who shouted 'DAMN RIGHT, IT OUGHT TO BE CLOSED! And I agree.
The prisoners should be neutralised and the prison dismantled immediately. All future prisoners would spend less time in captivity as patrons of prisons elsewhere, locations undisclosed, treatment as necessary, imprisonment brief, very brief to meet the requests of some for less frivolous expenditures in the WAR ON TERROR. Again, I concur!
Again, I apologise for being lazy but these guys say it best and besides, I've got a lot going on right now. Enjoy!
Loopholes for terrorists and fugitives TODAY'S EDITORIAL May 25, 2007
The more you look at the Senate immigration bill, the more troubling loopholes you find. Two of the most pernicious: One would severely damage the government's ability to conduct background checks, while the other would provide amnesty to illegal-alien gang members and absconders. Section 601 (h)(1) of the bill, titled the "Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007," gives the government only one business day to conduct a background check to determine whether an applicant is a criminal or a terrorist. "Unless the government can find a reason not to grant it by the end of the next business day after the alien applies, the alien receives a probationary Z visa (good from the time of approval until six months after the date Z visas begin to be approved, however long that may be) that lets him roam through the country and seek employment legally," write Kris Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and Heritage Foundation scholar Matthew Spalding. It is impossible, of course, to determine in a single day whether someone is a terrorist or a criminal. Although the federal government has computer databases containing the names of terrorists and criminals, the information is hardly comprehensive. Much of it is kept by foreign governments or in the form of paper records that cannot be carefully searched in just 24 hours. "The need for effective background checks is real. During the 1986 amnesty, the United States granted legal status to Mahmoud 'The Red' Abouhalima, who fraudulently sought and obtained the amnesty intended for seasonal agricultural workers (even though he was actually employed as a cab driver in New York City.) But his real work was in the field of terrorism," Messrs. Kobach and Spalding write in a new Heritage Foundation study explaining how the Senate immigration bill would undermine the rule of law. Abouhalima, they said, "went on to become a ringleader in the 1993 terrorist attack against the World Trade Center. Using his new legal status of amnesty, he was able to travel abroad for terrorist training." Under Section 601(g)(2) of the bill, illegal-alien gang members would be eligible for amnesty merely by signing a "renunciation of gang affiliation." This massive loophole would make it so easy for illegal aliens to stay in the country that deporting gang members would no longer be a priority. Gang-bangers and other criminals, who have been ordered to leave the United States by an immigration judge but defy the ruling, are called absconders. The Senate bill first appears to deny amnesty to absconders in Section 601(d)(1)(B). But Section 601(d)(1)(I) permits U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to grant an absconder a Z visa anyway if he can show that being forced to leave the United States "would result in extreme hardship" to the alien, his spouse, parent or child. The "hardship" provision creates a loophole you can drive a truck through -- virtually guaranteeing that this class of fugitive aliens can remain in the United States. As we went to press, Sen. John Cornyn was preparing to offer an amendment to strip from the bill amnesty for absconders and violent gang members.
On Iraq, he thinks that the majority of Americans want to help the fledgling democracy which according to the most I've seen and heard, that couldn't be further from the truth. Americans in majority could care less and don't want to be the white hat for all the countries living under tyranny it's tough love but they'll have to take up that fight themselves - like we did!
Most(some)feel that fighting Al Qeada is a good thing, while being picked off like fish in a barrel while on patrol is not a good thing when the bombs are planted under the eyes of no one the night before, especially when they see huge amounts of tax dollars going to new technologies IE: UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)that could be doing the patrolling - so where are they and what are they doing?
Many feel the war is being run by amateurs when, to appease the left. Stupid decisions are made like leaving small isolated groups of soldiers to hold ground taken because they can't count on the Iraqi police or soldiers to hold it. You know what that gets you. Dead or kidnapped only to be found later tortured and dead American GIs. Unacceptable,totally unacceptable!
And then on to the Illegal Immigrants, where he says we can't dig out for exportation 2.11 million illegals. That's true, but most believe that by stopping them from being employed by putting the fear of god into employers will cause the illegals to starve, commit crimes, or just leave. Most will leave which is good but those who chose crime will be stopped one way or the other. None will chose to starve!
As to his comments, which aren't takin seriously by anyone, about stopping them at the border and his resolve to do so has already been proven to be empty words because of the failure to back it up with anything other than deceit referring to the lack of funds manpower and honest effort. Sure they put some National Guard down there, with no ammunition and no orders to do anything other watch, call or run like hell if attacked which has already happened when confronted by some Mexican hillbilly drug dealers with guns and an attitude. Holy Christ, we could've hired the French Military to hang out down there for that!
No, there isn't much confidence or good will left in the American people toward the isolated, out of touch persons in Government - any of it, from the White House to the Congress. The Government of the United States from the top down to the Mayors and City Councils had better think less of which hot new restaurant they'll be gorging themselves at today and get a little more in tune to what the Citizens will be gorging themselves on - hint - it ain't food! A lot is at stake here and revolution like a forest fire only takes a spark.
Oh man, I just heard on the news that Jimmy Carter, while shooting his (desperate to change his piss poor Presidential Legacy now that he spotted the Grim Reaper hanging around)big hillbilly mouth off, said that President Bushs Administration is the worse in history among many other cheap shots around the world in which he also belittled Tony Blair as well.
Nice try Jimmy but no, you still hold that prestigeous honor barr none and probably will for years to come! Heh, don't worry . You still may get to finish in second place if, by some unfortunate twist of fate, one of the current demokrats now jousting for president in 08 happens to pull it off, bwahahhahahaha!
Oh man, I can't take it. Too much !
Later that day :
The White House gloriously fights back - or does it?
White House spokesman Tony Fratto had declined to react on Saturday but on Sunday fired back.
"I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there," Fratto told reporters. "I think it's unfortunate. And I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."
This is why Bush doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell to win the hearts and minds of Anybody, no one likes weak, smells to much like wounded and vulnerable as in wounded prey! One in power must give at least as good as he gets period!
I swear, that man couldn't effectively fight his way out of a paper bag. I hope after his legacy as President he answers the call to the gospel which I believe he is more qualified for than the cut throat sport of politics and war!
Well, I don't know about you but, damn, it's a little early for all this politicking. Fox news had a Republican debate which beat the pants off the MSNBC debate by Ralf the Mouf Chris Mathews in which they had to answer a 30 second question in 2.5 seconds because of the time factor (the Mouf had to excersise his gums as usual).
To make this short, there was some great one liners about John Edwards haircuts and Juliani laid waste to Ron Pauls comment about 9/11. I thought ole Ron Pauls stance seemed to strike some cords within me. Yeah, I think I'll look into him a little further. Tancredo has some pretty damned interesting sights on a few things too so ditto for him as well. No rush though, like I said there's plenty of time and some of these guys won't be around in 6 months anyway!
What the hell is wrong with that woman? Now she wants our Nations Intelligence Service, who have a whole lot on their plates already, to use their intelligence capabilities to gather info on - hold on to something, this is going to be like passin a kidney stone, GLOBAL WARMING. I shit you not!
She and her cohorts, the krypt kicker five, yes the poster children for what happens to people after a frontal labottomy.
